Right atrial isolation for atrial fibrillation associated with atrial septal defect

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery

Abstract

Two patients with atrial fibrillation associated with an atrial septal defect underwent simultaneous surgical correction of the atrial septal defect and right atrial isolation. The right atrium was surgically isolated while the continuity with the sinoatrial node was preserved in the remainder of the heart. After the operation, the patients maintained normal sinus rhythm for 99 and 65 months. Thus, right atrial isolation offers an alternative to the current surgical treatment for atrial fibrillation associated with an atrial septal defect.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
